Do you stop praying or pray more in difficult times?

daliaj @daliaj (5674) • India 8 Apr 10

I stop praying when I go through difficult times. I will be mad at Jesus for giving me hard times. But, it will last only for one or two days and I will continue praying. Most of the people I know pray a lot more during difficult...

abbeyr212 I pray more in difficult times. It helps me to feel that I'm not alone. That someone else is in my corner, giving me strength. Life is full of difficulties. And I do believe in the idea that, if we didn't have bad times, how would we know how to recognize and...

Believe It!

Jess @JJ4Ever (4693) • United States 8 Apr 10

Do you think that if you tell yourself something (or someone else tells you), hear something, or read something enough times that you'll eventually believe it? Do you think you can psych yourself out, so to speak, into believing...

abbeyr212 I absolutely do believe it. And it definitely works both ways. It seems easier to believe the bad things though. Like if people keep on saying negative things like "you can't do it", "You aren't good enough", and that kind of thing, I think people believe it...

Is It TRUE???

Payout @payout (3797) • United States 8 Apr 10

I was told by some co-workers of mines that you have to be 21 years or older to apply/ Qualify for a credit card. I remember Seeing something on the news saying something about credit cards and a New Act going on about making...

abbeyr212 Nope. Not true. I worked at a bank. If you're legal for a contract, you're legal for a credit card. 18 baby! Not that it's a good idea to get a card at 18, but it is possible. That's why college students are targeted.

abbeyr212 I agree 100%. It is despicable, and I'm SO tired of hearing about Tiger Woods. Now for Nike to basically try to use this to make a profit! Does no one have morals anymore? Look for New Balance instead. If you go on their website, you can even find some that...

Spelling mistakes - stupidity? Or just moving too fast?

vivasuzi @vivasuzi (4127) • United States 5 Apr 10

Imagine you read an article, or a mylot, or anything, and it has 1 or 2 spelling mistakes but overall is decent. Do you instantly think "wow this person is so stupid to have spelled such an easy word wrong!" OR do you think "wow...

abbeyr212 One or two typo's are acceptable with an overall good post or paper. It usually does amount to going too fast. The people that I tend to judge are the ones that can't make a coherent sentence. Everything is spelled wrong. The structure is all screwed up, or...

Should we judge historic figures by modern standards?

Taskr36 @Taskr36 (13963) • United States 6 Apr 10

I ask this here because slavery is such a common topic and many try to discount what our founding fathers did because many of them owned slaves. What I don't see is anyone being attacked for pointing out this historical fact, only...

abbeyr212 Well. I'm pretty sure that marrying at such a young age was pretty common practice, not just in that part of the world, but all over. Life expectancy was MUCH shorter then. So I don't think it is fair to call Muhammad a pedophile. If men were doing this same...

abbeyr212 I don't think that you overreacted. If you directly asked him whose clothes were in the car, and he said it was his nieces, he lied to a direct question. Omitting information of that magnitude is bad enough. If he wanted to have a serious relationship with...

abbeyr212 How can you be too honest? Either you're honest, or you're not. You are living your life the right way, and doing what you should be doing. If everyone lived like that, then this world would not be the dispicable place it has turned into. We have plenty of...

My child is relatively shy. What should I do to help him socialize with others?

teacherplacer @teacherplacer (28) • Philippines 5 Apr 10

I have a three year old child. He is intelligent. He can write his name, count 1-100, draw,color and read! My problem is that he doesn't want to talk in the presence of other people. I'm convincing him to go to kindergarten so he...

abbeyr212 I was horribly shy when I was young, as was my mother. To break the cycle, she put my niece into dance class at age three. When my nephew was three, she took him to the same dance school, and he did (and still does) gymnastics and jazz. I can tell you that...

Do you have high expectation from your children?

swetashah @swetashah (345) • United States 5 Apr 10

markmoney @markmoney (2868) • Philippines 5 Apr 10
